Spider-Man: Brand New Day — The Complete Collection Vol. 1 Kindle & comiXology
Beginning a complete collection of one of the most celebrated eras in Spider-history! His world was turned upside down by the events of "One More Day," Peter Parker puts the past behind him and sets forth on a "Brand New Day!" It's a status-quo swing shift like no other - with new friends, new foes and some familiar faces - and Peter's life has never been crazier. If major changes at the Daily Bugle, blizzard conditions and the live-streaming foe Screwball weren't bad enough, the rampage of the furious Freak will have Spidey calling for his Avengers teammates and an all-new adventurer! Face it, Tiger, you just met Jackpot! Plus: It's web-slinger vs. wall-crawler when "The Other Spider-Man" invades the neighborhood!

For those who don't know, BND is infamous in Spidey fandom for being the first book released after the erasure of Peter and Mary Jane's marriage. (A marriage magically broken up by the devil no else. Marvel and Joe Quesada knew what they were doing was going be unpopular.) I should have dropped the series right after One More Day (the book immediately preceding Brand New Day, where the metaphysical annulment happens) like so many other fans did, but Marvel knew how to get me. They held an MJ teaser in front of us with Jackpot. (and that god awful suit design.) Was Mary Jane a super hero now? Will she and Peter get back together? Will fans keep buying books despite the betrayal?
In my idiot case, yes, I kept buying the damn comics, if only to know where Peter and MJ stood now. The answer? Nowhere. Jackpot wasn't even MJ. It felt like a second stab in the back. Everything about that era of Spidey felt like it was written to hurt us.
With over a 10 years of distance I see what the long term goal of Brand New Day was supposed to be: a new starting point of the Spider-man franchise. Seems obvious in retrospect, but I never truly felt that was true until reading many of the happy reviews here. "Classic Spidey!" "A great place to start the comics!" Marvel knew that with enough time and distance they could rebrand BND as just another Spidey comic, as a starting point no less (f#$& that hurts), and not a removal of one of the most important elements of Spidey fandom. Without One More Day to break your heart, Brand New Day is just another 'good old Spidey comic', not a traumatic event.
All the angry and anguished reviews are missing from this listing, wiped away by a new ISBN and a reprint. Also, am I remembering everything wrong, or has Marvel changed BND from a single volume to multiple volumes? If yes, that's a genius marketing technique, transforming BND into a brand new entity. It creates a blank slate for reviews, but also challenges the way new and old fans talk about BND. "Brand New Day? I remember that disaster." "Oh? Which volume?" "...what?" I'm impressed as a business woman, even as I feel sick as a Spidey fan.
Brand New Day wasn't the end of Peter and MJ. She was transformed into a similar but different entity in the Tom Holland movies, she and Peter were married in the Into the Spiderverse movie. Fans and creators aren't forgetting. Marvel even brought Ben Reilly back after the Spiderverse movie. And we're getting more 2099 material as well. Marvel knows there's an appetite for these characters and relationships, and they've never stopped using our desires to fill their pockets. I remember one of the best tweets to come out when Disney acquired Marvel, from a comic artist I wish I could remember the name of: "I just woke up working for Disney, and Joe Quesada's pockets are full of money!"
For a starting point in the Spidey comics, I recommend Civil War. It happens shortly before Brand New Day (so you don't have to read much more than you're already reading) and Peter's unmasking is still my favorite event in comics, period.
If you're interested in an MJ with super powers then pick up Mary Jane and Black Cat, currently on issue 3. MJ's powers manifest as a lottery, where she might get something fun and useful like super strength, or something totally useless and gross like ooze powers. It's wildly entertaining. Felicia and MJ are a hoot together, dedicated friends at this point, but there's some of the ol' tension while Felicia avoids admitting she's dating Peter, and MJ refuses to reveal how she got her powers. Or pick up Mary Jane and Black Cat Beyond, which is a separate title, but also high on tension and highjinx. And (spoiler) who doesn't love Mary Jane in the Black Cat suit?
